Siding problems usually begin small and out of sight. Water slips behind a panel at a missing flashing, soaks into the sheathing for a few seasons, and by the time it shows outside, the damage runs deep. A siding inspection exists to catch it early.
A thorough inspection walks every elevation and checks fastening, panel locks, clearances to grade and roofs, kick-out flashing, window and door flashing, caulk joints, J-channel drainage, and penetrations like vents and hose bibs. The contractor tests suspect areas with a moisture meter and, when conditions are right, uses a thermal camera to spot hidden moisture.
You get a written report with photos, a list of problems in order of urgency, and an honest opinion on whether the siding needs repair, maintenance, or replacement. Note that this is an assessment by a siding contractor rather than a licensed home inspection, and it focuses on the exterior wall system.
Timing matters. Thermal imaging works best when there is a clear temperature difference between inside and outside, and moisture readings are most telling a day or two after rain.

The Siding Inspection, Wall by Wall
A methodical inspector works the house in the same order every time, usually starting at the front door and moving around clockwise. On each wall, they look at the siding from a distance first to spot waves, bulges, discoloration, and gaps, then move in close.
Up close, they check panel locks and fastening, test for brittleness, measure clearances at grade, patios, and roof lines, and look for kick-out flashing at every roof-to-wall joint. Windows and doors get extra scrutiny for head flashing, sill condition, and whether caulk is standing in for missing flashing.
Moisture readings are taken under windows, at inside corners, below roof intersections, and wherever siding looks stained or distorted. Gutters, downspouts, grading, sprinkler spray, and vegetation touching the wall are noted too, because they often explain what the meter finds. Everything is photographed and summarized in the written report.
The report ends with priorities. Urgent items like active leaks or missing kick-out flashing come first, followed by repairs that should happen within the year and routine maintenance like caulk renewal. That ranking makes it easier to budget and to negotiate during a sale.

- Buyers with inspection deadlines
- Sellers preparing to list

What does a siding inspection include?
It covers fastening, panel condition, clearances, flashing, caulk, drainage, and moisture testing at suspect areas, plus a written report with photos.
How is a siding inspection different from a home inspection?
A general home inspection covers the whole house at a high level. A siding inspection by a siding contractor focuses deeply on the exterior wall system, often with moisture testing. It is not a substitute for a licensed home inspection.
How long does a siding inspection take?
Usually one to two hours, depending on size, height, and the number of suspect areas. The report usually arrives soon after.
Can a siding inspection find hidden water damage?
Moisture meters and thermal cameras can detect moisture behind siding without removing it, though some findings may need a small test opening to confirm.
How much does a siding inspection cost in Sunset?
Cost depends on the size of the house, wall height, and what is included. The fee is confirmed before the visit, and any repairs are quoted separately.
When should I get my siding inspected?
Good times include before a purchase or sale, after big storms, before a warranty ends, and anytime you notice interior stains or wavy panels.
